*i do not own anything from Naruto* i own my OCs though...
The first thing kumori realized when she woke up was that it was morning, The second thing she realized was she was moving fast, the third thing that she wasn't
moving she was being carried. She acted instinctively and punched the thing that carried her and jumped out of its grasp. She landed on the ground and got into the
fighting position her mother taught her. When her eyes focused she realized that the thing that carried her was tall, blonde, blue eyed, and had whisker mark, Naruto
uzumaki.
"Daddy!" kumori screamed and tackled her father.
"Good to see you to, kumori-Chan. Now why exactly did you punch me?"
"You told me if I was in danger to claw the eyes out of what was hurting me!" Kumori smiled and her father picked her up.
Someone behind them cleared his throat behind them. Kumori looked over naruto's shoulder to see four people behind them. They were Gaara, his daughter ai,
Kankurou, and his daughter nariko.
Kumori smiled, climbed onto naruto's shoulders and launched herself at Gaara. "Gaara-ji…!"
Gaara caught her with ease. "Hello, kumori…"
"Don't I get a hug, kumori-Chan?" Kankurou asked walking up behind his little brother
"Ok! Catch me!" kumori landed in Kankurou's arms and tried to choke him. He put her down and she ran to ai and nariko to give them hugs.
"It's good to see you kumori…" ai said hugging back. She was 5. Ai had long red hair that was a few shades lighter than her fathers, black marks around her light blue
eyes, and a kanji mark on her forehead that said her name 'love'.
Nariko had short brown hair like her father's, her eyes were gray, and she wore kabuki paint on her cheeks. She had a small puppet on her back. She was 6 years old.
"Naruto, we should get going." Gaara said
"You're right" naruto answered
All six of them started jumping from tree to tree, but after a while kumori remembered why she was out there. She skidded to a stop on the ground. Everyone else
stopped a few yards away.
"What's wrong, kumori?" naruto asked
"Last night, I ran away…" kumori said miserably
"I know. Your mother sent a message that you left the village. That's why we left so early. " They turned to leave, but naruto stopped and turned around to face her
again. "By the way, you're grounded 'til you die." He left…
"That's not fair!" she followed
* At the village *
Hinata uzumaki waited for a reply from her husband, she sent a message the night before and hadn't received a reply yet. A large bird came circling to hinata with a toad
on its back (naruto's way). The toad jumped and landed on hinata's shoulder.
"Naruto found kumori out in the forest. He says to wait at the main gate for their return." The toad disappeared in a puff of smoke.
. When she went to the main gate again, two people had just returned from a mission. One was a woman with long pink hair and green eyes. The other was a tall man
with a bowl cut that spiked in the back, wearing a green jumpsuit, and a jounin jacket.
"Sakura, lee!" hinata yelled when she landed next to them.
"Hinata! What Happened? We heard kumori ran away!" sakura said looking like she was ready to punch someone.
"Its ok sakura… naruto found her and is bringing her back as we speak." Hinata said trying to calm her down.
"Mommy." A voice yelled from behind them. They all turned to face the group of children. In order they were kyoshi, Yuji, kaori, tatsuya, minato, hikari, chiyoko, takahiro,
ichiro, nishiko, and natsuko. The one that yelled out was Yuji who ran to hug his mom and dad. Kaori hugged them too, but much slower. Minato walked to hinata and
grabbed her hand.
"Mommy, did daddy find one-Chan?" he asked
"Yes they'll be here soon… let's wait for them." Hinata smiled and picked minato up.
"Ok."
An hour later naruto and his team made their way to the gate of the leaf village. Kumori hid behind her father in fear of her mother's wrath.
"Daddy, did mommy tell you why I ran away?" she asked looking at her toes.
"Yes and we will talk about it later." He was annoyed; he wasn't good at hiding his emotions when they came.
The team entered the village to a crowd of their friends. Nariko walked to her friends' kaori and chiyoko. Ai stayed with kumori though, she was very anti-social. Gaara
and Kankurou left to see their older sister, temari. Naruto saw hinata and walked over to hug her. Kumori now hid behind ai who was the last person there.
"Kumori, don't think I can't see you." Kumori's mother said while kissing naruto, which minato was gagging at. All the children turned at hinata's words and charged at
kumori and ai. Ai and kumori screamed and ran but only got a few feet before they were lost in the pile of friends.
"Get… off… ow! Tatsuya I know that's you… stop that!"
"Make me…" some one mumbled from inside the pile. (Probably tatsuya)
"Ai a little help… please…" kumori asked as she was trying to find tatsuya and claw his eyes out. Sand swirled out of ai backpack and grabbed everyone by the ankles.
They were all lifted into the air "ai?" kumori asked.
"Yes?" she looked at kumori suspended in the air by her foot.
"When I asked for help I didn't mean to hold me in the air."
"Oh" she dropped them all on the ground.
"Ow! Ai-Chan!"
"why does she carry around a jar of sand" kaori asked kumori when she landed next to her.
"ai likes sand... and grape juice."
Once everyone was happier takahiro ran to kumori, grabbed her by the shirt, and said "if you ever do something like that again we will all take turns and kick your butt."
Takahiro pulled her into a hug. He walked over to ai and gave her a hug. Ai blushed at this. She had a kindergarten crush on him.
kyoshi hugged kumori and kumori blushed. "please dont do something so troublesome again..."
"o-OK kyoshi-kun!" kumori hugged back
Minato tackled kumori "don't ever do that again" he cried for a while, but hid it when their grandfather and aunt came to the main gate.
Hiashi looked at the twins "Kumori … it is good to see that you are ok…" he turned to hinata "I am here to take minato for training". Minato was the heir to the hyuuga
family because he had the hyuuga eyes.
"Oh can I come?" kumori asked excitedly.
"No only minato can come to training…" their aunt hanabi said simply and turned around "come minato…"
"But I'm the better fighter I kick minato's butt every time we spar!" she retorted angrily "you wont even let me come and see the training!"
"You are not the hyuuga heir…" he looked at kumori who was bearing her teeth like a fox and the marks on her cheeks were darker. (She did this when ever she got
made) he smiled "you may come when you can defeat hanabi…" the marks returned to normal and she stepped back half a step. "That's what I thought…"
He turned to walk away but "haaaaaaaa!" kumori went running at her aunt. She clawed at her aunt, but her aunt side stepped. As kumori flew by, hanabi kneed her in
the stomach, sending her flying into the air. She would have hit the ground hard but naruto caught her in time, he looked at her… she was unconscious.
"Hey! Leave one-Chan alone!" minato yelled and bared his teeth at his aunt. (The only thing he got from his father is that he hates when people hurt his loved ones)
"Don't show disrespect to me minato…" hanabi said in her menacing way.
Minato calmed down immediately, he was still shy. "C-can w-we go p-please"
"Hanabi, that was too far" naruto's eyes turned red.
"No… it was not… she just too weak…" hanabi crossed her arms. Naruto snarled at her words. "…And your son is pathetic…" she still hated naruto for taking hinata away
from her and her family. When naruto married hinata they moved to a small town on the border of the wind and fire countries. The twins spent the first three years of
their life in the town until naruto's name came up for sixth hokage.
"Minato, go with your grandfather and naruto calm down." She got between naruto and hanabi before naruto went 'nine tailed fox' on her ass. "Goodbye little bird I'll
see you in a few hours, naruto lets take kumori home."
"Ai come on… sakura do you mind watching nariko for a while?" naruto said calming down a little.
"Ok…" sakura said and grabbed kaori and nariko by the hands and walked away. Yuji ran after them.
"Goodbye hiashi…" naruto said and walked away dragging hinata and ai with him, still carrying kumori.
"Bye mommy… daddy" minato said while being dragged away bye his grandfather and aunt.
Kumori woke up in her own bed to a commotion down stairs. She only heard parts of it as she walked down stairs
"Oh… it's everywhere…" naruto complained.
"Its ok naruto, ai didn't mean to…" hinata said, laughing.
"I'm sorry, naruto-ji" ai said crying a little.
Kumori walked into the kitchen. Ai was on the floor crying, naruto was sitting in a chair, and hinata was kneeling next to ai laughing as she helped her up. Kumori sat in
the chair across the table from naruto. She realized what was so funny. Naruto was drenched in grape juice.
"What happened?" kumori asked
Naruto looked at her and said "your mother gave ai some juice and ai tripped and it got all over me." Naruto got up, kissed hinata and said "I'm gunna take a shower and
then we need to talk, kumori." He walked upstairs.
"Good job ai" kumori gave her fox grin
"Really, did I? I almost messed up…" ai smirked
"oh and the tears were genius... you have learned well."
"You planned this, girls?" hinata asked
"Yes…" kumori smiled again
"You need to stop corrupting ai or Gaara wont let you play with her anymore."
"Oh it's not like I'm teaching her to blow up stuff."
"Not that you wouldn't try, missy." Hinata mumbled
"Ai, what do you want to do today?" kumori asked
"After me and your father talk to you, kumori… you can go play with takahiro."
"Ok" said quietly, but excitedly.
10 minutes later naruto came down the stairs in fresh clothes and wet hair. "Ai why don't you go watch television in the living room, we need to talk to kumori."
"Ok" ai got up and walked out of the kitchen.
"Kumori, about the new baby thing…"
"Mommy… I've been thinking about it and I don't think it's a bad idea at all. I want another little brother or sister." Kumori smiled a little
"Wait yesterday you were scared about it and now you're perfectly fine?" naruto said a little confused
"I just over… overiabeted"
"Overreacted, little fox…"
"…That to…" kumori said.
"Kumori are you sure?"
"Ya I'm paranoid like daddy when you talk to men he doesn't know" naruto pouted at that. "Now can I go play?"
Naruto and hinata looked at each other and naruto said "Sure"
Kumori smiled and ran "ai lets go play with takahiro!" and they were out the door.
"She's you if you were a girl"
"She has your father's hair…"
"God don't remind me… I think that's one reason he hates her so much more than minato."
"what do you mean?"
"He doesn't want anything to do with you… When he looks at her he sees you, but he also sees himself… so it connects you two. Don't get me wrong he loves her, but he
hates you… it's a hard choice, dear…"
"I don't get it…"
Hinata smiled "you don't have to…"
